HANDY HINTS
•
Refrigerate eggs until ready to cook.
•
You will learn to adjust the water level to get your desired consistency. Add more for
firmer eggs; less if you prefer softer eggs.
•
Eggs should be stored in the carton they were purchased in (or separate egg
compartment) in your refrigerator to keep them from drying out and absorbing
refrigerator odours.
•
Eggs should be stored sitting large end up to help them stay fresh longer and keep
the yolk centred.
•
For hard cooked eggs, it is best to plunge the eggs into cold water immediately
after cooking. This helps to stop the cooking process and prevent a dark ring from
developing around the yolk, as well as making it easier to peel the shell.
•
If not serving immediately it is advised to place in the refrigerator. Hard cooked eggs
in the shell can keep for up to one week if they are properly refrigerated.
•
To peel hard cooked eggs easily, roll gently on the counter using the palm of your
hand to crack the shell.
